An Open Heart ~

An open heart,
Jesus can remake
for in His riches
it will partake.

It excepts His love,
His mercy and grace
for an open heart
His life can embrace.

An open mind,
wholeness will receive
for it no longer
His Spirit grieves.

It desires godly wisdom,
it seeks holy living
its thoughts are now full
of hope and thanksgiving.

An open heart,
takes a willing spirit too
so Jesus its mind . . .
can restore and renew!

Ephesians 4:23

And be renewed
in the spirit of your mind;

Oh, To Discover God ~

Oh, to discover,
the riches of wisdom
is to have a life
with God in rhythm.

To seek and to find,
the meaning of grace
is to have your soul
His mercy embrace.

Oh, to be a searcher,
of God’s counsel
is to have a heart
quiet and peaceful.

To find the direction,
in which you should go
is to have a mind
ready for Him to show.

Oh, to really discover,
what God is all about . . .
is to trust in Him . . .
without having any doubt!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 11:33

O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and
knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are
his judgments, and his
ways past finding out!

God’s Gift Of Wisdom ~

God’s gift of wisdom,
is a free to us all . . .
whenever for knowledge
on His name we call.

For richly and graciously,

is ours for the taking
we just need to ask Him . . .
for insight when praying.

For He will make known,
what for us is His will
and with understanding
our heart’s He will fill.

God’s gift of Wisdom,
is ours to accept . . .
all we need to do
is on His Word reflect!

James 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God,

Adding To Your Faith ~

Once you have faith,
you mustn’t stop there
you need to add to it
more things with care.

To your faith add virtue,
and you will be pure
for faith and virtue
is ungodly living’s cure.

To virtue add knowledge,
it is the wisdom of life
for faith with knowledge
will cause you no strife.

To knowledge add self-control
in all the things you do
for faith and self-control
lets the light of God shine through.

To self-control add perseverance,
you will need it to faithfully run
for faith and perseverance
is the only way the race is won.

To perseverance add godliness,
in all that you say and do
then charity and brotherly kindness
will ooze right out of you!

~~~~~~~~~~

2 Peter 1:5-7

“And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue knowledge;

And to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience;
and to patience godliness;

And to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity.

Oh Lord, what mighty things,
today are You going to show
what new things about You
am I going to get to know?

What is it that You will bring,
into my life today
so that I may experience
true joy along my way.

Oh Lord, what new heights,

what exciting adventure
together will we make?

What will You be sending,
so I can trust You more
what awesome works of grace

Oh Lord, what mighty things,

oh, what glorious things
will these eyes of mine see?

Give Me The Wisdom ~

Oh, Lord give me wisdom,
to know what to say
so others I may guide
to the righteous way.

Help me to redeem,
the time allotted me
to help blinded eyes
Your saving light to see.

Oh, Lord keep me seasoned,
let me not lose my flavor
so I may lead others
to also find their Savior.

Help me to choose,
the words that will bring
answers to their doubt
You created everything.

Oh, Lord give me wisdom,
so others I can inform
how their hearts and minds
You can change and transform!

~~~~~~

Colossians 4:5-6

” Walk in wisdom
toward them
that are without,
redeeming the time.

Let your speech be
always with grace,
seasoned with salt,
that ye may know
how ye ought to answer
every man.”

Dwelling On God’s Word ~

Let the words of Jesus,
teach us how to be wise
let them dwell in our hearts
so our minds they’ll advise.

Let His words reflect,
daily in our attitude
for they are full of grace
joy, hope and gratitude.

Let Jesus’ life become,
one we are willing to live
for it will bring us peace
as we learn how to forgive.

Let us come together,
with our thankful hymns
let the melody of our words
reflect our love for Him.

Let the words of Jesus,
inspire in each of us . . .
to share with those we meet
why in God we place our trust!

~~~~~~~~~

Colossians 3:16

“Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts
to the Lord.”

Walking Humbly ~

I want to walk with God,
through the glens and dells
up and down the hills
through the valley’s swells.

I want to place each step,
in the truest of directions
I want my walk to have
the holiest of intentions.

I want to hold His hand,
as I climb the mountain top
I want Him to tell me . . .
when to go, when to stop.

I want to do God justice,
doing what He requires
I want to make Him proud
of my wants and desires.

I want to walk humbly,
so I don’t trip on my pride
I want God’s grace in my steps
His mercy in my stride!

~~~~~~~~~~

Micah 6:8
King James Version

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good;
and what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?”
